[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8012954, member: 63508"] Medium fiend (orc) for the Classic orc. The LOTR orcs. They are always evil monster of corruption who cannot comprehend good. Their survival is usually linked to a dark god or some other force they venerate which keeps their war engines humming. Medium humanoid (orc) for the Modern orc. The Warcraft orcs. They have the same minds as a human with their own cultures and societies. They make settlements and form relations with other beings. They can form brutal tribes or civilized kingdoms. Medium giant (orc) for the Mixed orc. The HOMM orc. They are small giants. Might makes right. Strength is power. They form societies but their culures can't progress on its own. Their minds are half Id and half Superego. Primal desire and Place in society is all they care about. They can think but it is a bit strange. Medium plant (orc) for the Blight orc. The Warhammer orc. These orcs are thinking plauges with strange mindsets. Entire concepts are foreign to them as they exist to grow and take territory. Their bizarre physiology also them to express their bizarre mindset. Here's an idea: How would you describe is a Fey orc? EDIT: Just got an idea. Imagine a orc as an monstrosity. Some combination of creatures. Traditionally orcs are porcine so a monstrosity orc would be a half man half pig. It would have a basis mindset of a man but the rage and hunger of a boar would be in the forebrain. These orcs would all about consuming and getting mad. They desire food and fly into a frenzy if they are stopped or hunger. When calm they mind return to their childlike brains which could be reasoned with. Sorta like the Hulk. The green hulk. So if that's the Green Hulk, maybe the Grey Hulk is the fey orc. Tricky, manipulative, brutal, and willing to do what a civilized humaniod wont do. They know they have the power to act and the toughness to dull blowback. The fey orc decides quickly on what action because it is the will of the fey royalty. Therefore a lack of concern for the consequences to mortal races is present. Cross a fey queen and you might see one of these if she wants you dead. [/QUOTE]
